Chapter 2

Goodbye New York and Hello Japan

The two days had pass by faster than the eye could blink. During does two days Tea and Heather spent the last two days together doing nearly everything they could think of like dancing going to the movies and gossiping. Tea had hoped that the moving idea was a joke or a nightmare, but to find most of her stuff packed made her frown. When it came to dinner at the family table she never touched her meal and went to her room to cry her head in the pillow. Tea during those two days when she wasn't with Heather or at home would be in the park and carry the card her grandma gave her before she died and during those visits would cry causing nearly everyone who went to the park to look at her in sorrow. Until that fateful day came for Tea to leave New York and her friend, Heather came.

Tea and Heather stood outside in the Gardner's driveway. Tea's parents were in the car waiting for Tea. Tea's baby brother was in the back seat asleep. The sun was getting ready to rise, but there a some cool breeze that blew. Tea wore a black shirt with long sleeves with long black pants and black boots with a long black scarf. Tea's hair was pulled up in a ponytail. Heather had a pink tank top with a green jacket over it. She wore blue jeans and half of her hair was up while the rest was down. Both girls' eyes were red and puffy and face had tear strain on them.

"Well I guess this it." Said Heather.

"I…I don't want to leave." Said Tea.

"I know, but you have to. Who knows maybe you'll make friends there." Said Heather.

Tea shakes her head.

"Never. You are my only friend and I refuse to enjoy any part of my life in Japan." Said Tea.

"Now you're being stubborn. Just promise to write to me and I'll write to you." Said Heather.

"I promise once I graduate high school I'll be back in New York in no time." Said Tea.

There was a car honk making both girls turn their heads to see Tea's dad indicating to come on. Tea turns to face her friend and sees tears streaming down her face.

"School will not be the same without you." Said Heather.

"And dinner won't be the same without you." Said Tea.

Heather hugs Tea and Tea did so as well. It seemed like for only a minute to those two. They finally release each other.

"Goodbye Tea." Said Heather.

"Bye Heather." Said Tea.

Tea walks to her car. She gets in the car in the back and puts on her seatbelt. Heather waves goodbye to the Gardners as the car gets out of the driveway and heads on to the airport.

A couple minutes later the Gardners arrive at the airport Tea's mom carried Tea's baby brother. Tea and her dad carried both Tea's mom's stuff and their own. They later got on the plane Tea sat in front of her parents in first class thanks to Mr. Gardner's job position. Tea took out a card that her grandma gave her and then put it up once the plane took off.

After four planes Tea's family took everyone except Tea had fallen asleep. Tea still saw some light outside her window.

It would be dark in New York by now…of course the time difference. Thought Tea.

Tea leaned back into her comfortable seat with her baby brother in a little seat the flight attendant gave them along with a really soft blanket was asleep beside her. Tea smiled down at her little baby brother as he slept soundlessly.

Your lucky Tate you won't have a problem with making friends in Japan and it does not hurt you when you move someplace else. Thought Tea.

Tea turns her head away from her baby brother. She frowns as she looks down at her knees.

I've lost my grandma and now my best friend. What else am I going to lose? Thought Tea who started to drift off to sleep.

"Tea. Tea dear wake up." Said a female voice.

Tea felt her eyes open halfway and then all the way. She saw her mom with Jakey in her arms still asleep and curled up in Tea's mom's arms. Tea started to stretch in the seat she was in and then unbuckle her seatbelt. Tea's mom smiled at her.

"We're here. We're in Japan." Said Tea's mom.

Tea gave a moan. She had dreaded the moment that she would be in Japan from the time she got on the first plane that left her old life behind her.

"Come on Tea your dad is trying to get a cab." Said Tea's mom.

Tea got up and grabs her stuff and Tea and her mom got off the plane. Tea didn't look around at her surroundings. The only thing that caught her eye was that the airport was a little crowded. Tea and Tea's mom makes it outside just in time when Tea's dad finally got a cab. The cab driver put the Gardner's things in the trunk. Tea and her mom sat in the back with Jakey in Tea's mom's arms. Tea's dad sat up in front with the cab driver. The sun was high in the sky.

Tea sat back and did not even look at the city. Tea's dad was speaking to the cab driver in Japanese about the city and also the school that Tea was going to. The cab driver had light brown hair and black sunglasses so no one saw his eyes and he wore a cab suit. He had light color skin. He was tall and a bit skinny. He told Tea's dad the location of the school and everything else about the city and also about a favorite teen place to eat is at Burger World. Trying to cheer the young teen in back up since he notice the depress look on her face. He also told them that most of the places are close by that they wouldn't have to drive. He also told them how far a lot of places are from their place call home. The cab driver soon stop allowing and coming to open the door for all the Gardners and taking out their bags. Tea's dad paid the cab driver and thanking him. The cab driver gave Tea's dad a map. The cab driver took off down the road. Tea and her family turn to look at their new home.

Their new home was bigger than their other home in New York. There was a white gate and a place that looks like it could grow a garden to Mrs. Gardner's liking.

"Well better head inside." Said Tea's mom.

After the Gardners the Gardners finally settle Tea lay in her sleeping bag. Tea's family had everything unpacked except for their beds. Jakey of course had his crib out and built. Tea's parents had put Jakey in a room close to them. Tea's room was farther down from her parents. It had two windows with purple curtains hung. A balcony that had a door that slid open and close. Tea actually had a closet. She had some drawers. She manage to put all her clothes away. She had her grandmother's card that she gave her before she passed away in Tea's hands. Tea thought back to friend and her grandmother.

Mom and dad said I would start school next week. That is hardly any time at all. And I have to wear a disgusting uniform. I will not make any friends here or become attach to this place. Thought Tea drifting off to sleep.

I hope you all like the chapter. I'll update soon.
